Chapter 333 Kick them out

Song Chunxue didn't say anything, turned around and went back into the house to change into a clean set of clothes, the colors of which were slightly brighter.

A thumb-sized red agate dangled from the hairpin in her hair.

Although it wasn't expensive, she bought it after just one glance.

Following her senior brother outside the gate, the moment the gate closed, Song Chunxue slapped the Taoist priest's arm hard.

"Senior brother, you've been acting all mysterious these past few days. What are you up to?"

The Taoist priest remained calm and composed.

"Don't worry, it's impossible for your senior brother to willingly act as your matchmaker. Of course, I hope that you, junior brother, will be devoted to the Dao and live a lonely life for the rest of your days."

"It would be best if you could help me with this favor today. Can you guess why?"

Song Chunxue regained her composure and asked, "What's the reason?"

"Could the person who wants to buy this courtyard be Lord Xie?"

The Taoist priest shook his head.

“It’s not him. Even if Lord Xie wanted to buy it, I wouldn’t sell it to him. I have no reason to take advantage of him. However, I’ve already accepted the hundred taels of silver, and the land deed and such have been taken care of. Before I leave tomorrow, I’ll just give the key to my neighbor, and my old friend will come to pick it up.”

Song Chunxue nodded, "That's good. We can't come empty-handed, so it's good to bring something. When Lord Xie came, he even brought two cans of good tea."

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Yes, then buy some lean meat. Didn't Master Xie want you to teach Chunshu how to make minced meat noodles? I think your minced meat is very well made and flavorful."

"Will this work? Isn't it too shabby?" Song Chunxue had an idea in her mind. "Then let's buy everything we need, plus two boxes of pastries and two jugs of wine?"

The Taoist priest nodded, "Alright, I'll go buy the wine."

Song Chunxue looked at the Taoist priest's back with suspicion, feeling that something was not right.

But she couldn't say it.

As for the thirty acres of land, there's no rush. Otherwise, it would be too heartless of us to anger Lord Xie.

As the two brothers, each carrying a large load of goods, entered the alley, Song Chunxue noticed the wine and pastry box in their hands.

"Senior brother, can you carry the meat and vegetables, and I'll carry the wine?"

"We're almost there, there's no need to change. I'll go knock on the door first."

Fearing she would insist, the Taoist priest quickly walked to the gate of the second house and knocked hard on the door.

Song Chunxue lowered her head, thinking that it was best if there was no one else at Lord Xie's house, otherwise it would look strange to see her carrying meat and vegetables.

"The Taoist priest is here, but where is Sister Song?"

Liu Chunshu opened the door, craning his neck to look outside as he spoke.

When he saw Song Chunxue, he smiled like a flower.

"Sister Song is here, come in quickly."

As he spoke, Liu Chunshu ran up to Song Chunxue and said, "Come on in, we've been waiting for Sister Song for a long time."

Song Chunxue felt even more uneasy; she had the feeling that she had come to a trap.

She stopped and looked at the Taoist priest with unease. "Senior brother, what exactly happened?"

The Taoist priest tilted his head, gesturing for her to go inside.

"What are you afraid of? With your relationship, it's just a favor. If anything happens, your senior brother will protect you."

Song Chunxue hesitated before following him across the threshold, thinking that her senior brother's words were somewhat agreeable.

"Lord Xie, you must be lying to us. We've been waiting for half an hour, and your fiancée still hasn't arrived?"

"If you look down on our young lady, just say so. Why keep me waiting? It would be difficult to explain to my master when I get back."

"Last time you were so affectionate in front of everyone, how come you suddenly have a fiancée? Although my young lady has been married once, she has no children and is still young. She is also quite beautiful. Why don't you meet her a few more times before making a decision?"

fiancée?

Upon hearing this, Song Chunxue turned and left without a second thought.

This is another attempt to ward off unwanted romantic advances, and this time the advances are far more intense than the ones we encountered in Zhuanglang County.

Although she knew that Lord Xie was popular wherever he went, she never expected that he could use her to ward off unwanted suitors every time. She wondered what benefits her senior brother had received from Lord Xie to harm her like this.

"Hey, Sister Song, where are you going?"

Liu Chunshu, with his sharp eyes, quickly stepped in front of Song Chunxue.

He lowered his voice, "Please, Sister Song, that woman drugged the adults last time. If we don't stop her from having these thoughts this time, who knows what she'll do next time."

"We will act according to the circumstances later. Lord Xie will surely reward you handsomely."

Liu Chunshu clasped his hands together and shook them, "The master really has no other choice, please help me, Sister Song."

Song Chunxue looked at the Taoist priest, who touched his nose.

"Lord Xie will be returning to Jincheng to take up his post next year, and building a temple on the mountain requires official approval." He pursed his lips uncomfortably as he said this.

"Besides, do you think I can't see what my junior brother is thinking?" The Taoist priest raised the wine jar in his hand. "Let's go, we have to face it eventually."

"..." What was she thinking?

Forget it, we're already here. It's just blocking some unwanted attention, why is she panicking?

Is she afraid that she will fall in love with Lord Xie?

Her resolve was unwavering, and no one could urge her on.

With that thought in mind, she followed the Taoist priest and walked confidently into the front hall.

As soon as I stepped onto the steps, I saw Lord Xie walking towards me with a smile.

“You’re here,” he said naturally, taking the meat and vegetables from her hands. “Why did you take so long? If you hadn’t come back soon, I was afraid you would have blamed me.”

Lord Xie leaned close to her and whispered, "Sister Song, act first and report later, then apologize afterwards."

As he spoke, he took Song Chunxue's hand and led her to the center of the five people sitting in the room.

The three women and two men stared at Song Chunxue with eyes as sharp as knives, scanning her back and forth.

Especially the woman sitting in the first seat, dressed in red and green, still charming, glared at Song Chunxue with a sidelong glance.

That expression reminded Song Chunxue of those who spoke ill of her to her face back in Li Family Village.

Especially her three white eyes, which are exactly the same as Chen Feng's.

These kinds of people are the most difficult to deal with.

Seeing her glaring at him, Song Chunxue suddenly felt a surge of anger.

She glanced at Xie Zheng, then took his fingers in her hand and smiled slightly.

Xie Zheng froze, staring blankly at her.

"Lord Xie, you're really a hot commodity! We're already engaged, yet some clueless people still insist on trying to matchmake us. Did you not explain things clearly to them, or are you just too conspicuous when you're out and about?"

"I..." Xie Zheng's face turned red, his eyes darting around, but he dared not look at her face.

"Whose family are these people? I just heard something about 'her young lady.' Is her young lady planning to become your concubine?"

Song Chunxue raised her chin and coldly swept her gaze over each of them, saying arrogantly, "You dare to threaten people before you've even entered the house. If you really did enter, would we still have any peace and quiet?"

"Bullshit! Who wants to be a concubine? Where did you come from?" The three-eyed woman pointed at Song Chunxue. "You're not young anymore. How could Lord Xie possibly be interested in someone like you?"

"This is the Xie residence. Your words are arrogant. Even if your young lady were willing to be a maid, I would not even look at her."

Lord Xie said in a deep voice, "Chunshu, throw them out."

"Yes, sir."

"You dare!" the matchmaker declared loudly. "My young lady's chastity has been defiled by you, sir. She has said she is willing to share a husband with your wife."

clean?

I don't even know whose innocence has been damaged.

Just as Song Chunxue was about to say something, she caught her senior brother winking at her.

She smiled and rolled up her sleeves as she walked up to the matchmaker.
